LiveBar Features

1. Attendee Profile

The Attendee Profile is where the attendee can see the details of their profile and also access the Sign Out button to check out of the event.


2. Notifications Centre

The Notifications Centre is the centralised place where all the notifications sent to the attendee are consolidated. This is where they can access the history of all notifications sent to them, in case there are any notifications that they missed or if there is any notification they want to get back to.


3. Chat

Chat is where the participants on the same livepage can chat publicly among themselves. Think of it as the public group chat of a livepage.


4. Polls

The Polls component in the LiveBar contains a repository of all the polls that have been sent to the attendee on that particular livepage. Polls also appear in a popup notification style when sent to the attendee, so the Polls feature in the LiveBar is really a place for them to access polls they might have missed, see the results of past polls, or see polls that they have responded to again.


5. Q&A

The Q&A is for attendees to raise questions, and the moderator(s) can select relevant questions to be addressed by the panels and speakers. 


6. Participants

Participants contain the list of Registrants of the event. Depending on the Event Owner/Organiser set up, the list may contain only Online participants only or Both - Online and Offline Participants. 


7. Personal Agenda

This is the Personal Agenda of the attendee displayed in a calendar schedule format. The items that goes on the attendee's Personal Agenda are:

  • Bookmarked sessions
  • Scheduled meetings with other attendees or exhibitors


8. Bookmarks

Bookmarks contain all the items that the attendee has bookmarked. Items that can be bookmarked are:

  • Other Attendees
  • Sponsors/Exhibitors
  • Sessions
  • Resources: PDF, Images, Links


9. Direct Messages

Direct Messages are 1-to-1 private messages that attendees send to each other.


10. Recommendations

An AI-powered matchmaking engine to connect your participants - attendees, speakers, sponsors/exhibitors and to propose conference sessions of their interests. 


The behaviour of the LiveBar Panel

The LiveBar Panel can behave in two ways when it is expanded:

  • It can either push the content of the livepage
  • Or it can overlap the content of the livepage and appear on top of it
